Chittagong has two railway station terminals. One is new, and another one is old which was built during the British period. There is a main road beside the terminal which is known as station road. This old railway station terminal is very near to the hotel Golden Inn (where I usually stay during my Chittagong visit). Basically it’s not a tourist place. But I couldn’t resist myself to explore this place as I walk beside the road very often. Also its old red structure lured me to visit the station.
This station is not functional for long distance journeys. Some local trains stop here. Also some goods carrying trains use to upload and download their goods at this station.
As this is an old one you’d find this place is less crowded, and no chaos at all. Even if a pin gets dropped here you should hear it. It will only take 10-15 minutes to visit the place. Everything is so old fashioned inside that would take you several decades back like a time machine!
